I also already wrote about some of the items that are on my desk in a post of mine titled: ‘Writer’s Workspaces that Inspire’ It’s a post that actually has been in my Most Popular Post-List for a long time already.

In that post I wrote about it rather general and besides the Cordless Keyboard and – Mouse I also have things like a Rolodex and an Impressive looking Double Penholder.

I spy an empty space the size and shape of a Ganesh statue; a glass Batman cup; last week’s Fantasy 5 ticket; a wooden box i carved; a small bug made from a coffee bean; eight (8) pencil cups (holding a brayer, tools, 3′ long dental mirror, keyboard toothbrush, dry ballpoint pens, etc). A timer so I know when to get up and dance the kazataky; a flyer for my play (now playing in North Hollywood), a Pooh alarm clock; four 3.5″ floppies; a friend’s note from 1993; & a discount coupon for a massage.

The state of my desk usually gives a pretty good indication of the state of my day. It seems strange to me that the messier the desk, the more I’ve accomplished in the day. I spend the later hours of the night clearing it off and getting things ready for morning. Right now, there’s a desk lamp, a small inspirational calendar (gift from my sister), several sticky notes actually stuck to my desktop with reminders for things I’ll likely never get around to, my laptop, an extra monitor, a phone charger, the TV remote (gathering dust right now), a few pens, a mouse, a self-healing cutting mat (I don’t know why), an almond-shaped wooden candy dish filled with candy, a stapler, the book “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”, some business cards, a notepad, a school folder and my iPad in need of charging.

Let’s see… at the moment, my phone, a notebook, a roll of toilet paper (subbing for tissues at the moment), some letters I need to open, 2 glasses, my cereal bowl from this morning (time to take a break and make a kitchen run, lol), a hair doodad… it’s actually not bad at the moment!Amelia Ramstead recently posted..Zombie Blueberries!!

Mine is a catchall for stuff I mean to file and haven’t gotten to yet. This habit will be gone soon, as one of my NY resolutions!

There are letter trays, a scanner, a big laptop (I work on the couch with my small laptop on a tray from Bed, Bath and Beyond), an overflowing pen carousel, a mouse, the folder with my tax stuff in it, a business card holder, a Post-it holder, a hard drive, and some speakers. Next to it is a printer table with my huge HP 4050N laser printer I bought used for printing manuscripts. You can’t print a 400-page manuscript with an inkjet–you’ll kill it.

There is a drawer in my desk for files and another file cabinet under the printer. That end of the floor is slightly slanted. I need to put shims under the desk and files because the drawers sometimes mysteriously open on their own!

Right now it’s the neatest it’s been in a long time!Elizabeth West recently posted..Becoming and Blocking

My whole day long won’t be completed if my desk don’t have a set.up of my laptop, printer, scanner, note pad, pens and a picture frame with my husband… I know if someone touch it, because I arrange it according with my fashion… 🙂

What’s on my desk right now would be the computer, my cellphone, my lunch, a water bottle, ballpen and a mug. Not so much in it because I’d like my table to be as spacious as possible so that I can work and move freely. Too bad I don’t have a Ganesh statue. 🙂Nesh recently posted..guitar tab books

My desk has legos, an etch a sketch, something that I think might be a cornflake (not mine! I never eat at the desk), a pile of random papers with I think a few CDs in there, a small tamborine, two entwined pairs of headphones, notebooks full of stuff I wrote a few years and have since forgotten about… oh, and a computer. I really am going to tidy up here… tomorrow maybe.

I have a cup with pencils, pens, and dry erase markers in it…and that’s it. My business phone is attached to the wall near my desk along with my lamp, my laptop is here with me at the library (but it goes back on the desk when I get home), and my notebooks and other office supplies are kept in the pullout drawer underneath the top surface of my desk.

I generally keep a clean desk. And it’s glass so I generally keep it wiped clean as well. That desk in the picture scares me.
